I never said that. Bring up the quote please. Again you insist on misquoting people and fabricating people's opinions that they never stated, or quite often, said the exact opposite of what you come back and tell us they said. That really is quite a bizzare quirk you have. Truly salesman-like in nature.
The only thing that I said was that the primary market that HWLabs originally targetted was the USA, and the feedback from the USA (and Australia) drove the radiator style that they make. In fact I do recall swapping a fair number of private messages with Willy from HWLabs pushing him fairly hard ot offer a product like the BIX2 to be made about 24 months ago, (about the same time that I was making my dual-fan "Big Arse" radiator which was spawned as a result of BillA's radiator testing work) saying that this was what the market really needed for performance-based systems. At the time, there were no commercial dual-12cm-fan radiator offerings in the USA or Australia. That changed pretty quickly though. I have no idea how much weight my words carried. I'm sure I wasn't the only one saying it to him personally.

As I suggested, I'm not arrogant enough to presume that I can declare for my country what they feel is their "typical" setup. I setup a series of polls, the results of which can be viewed
here. Even if nothing comes out of it, it is at least a useful demographic snap-shot of the state of Australian enthusiast water-cooling for potential marketers to exploit (no doubt).
Re: this thread and what it has developed into.
I really do see no point in continuing with this thread if one person insists on an embarkation of mis-quoting everyone here, putting words into their mouths, and attempting to rewrite history and redefine the original intent of the thread, just to suit their own end.
It's getting pretty old and pointless by now. I just want to see these blocks tested. The blocks are the only thing that's really different in any significant fashion to what is commonly available within Australia or the USA. We can get the same sort of pumps, the same sorts of radiators, the same sorts of fans, and the same tubing. These things are all well-defined (again mostly due to the pioneering testing work of BillA). The only thing that varies is the block, and the performance curve of the block by itself will bring to immediate light whether or not a low-flow system can match it with a hi-flow system.
